OF course, Mr.. Childs reiterates former
peremptory refusal to be considered cand-
date for the Presidency. Unlike most men
in position to conn maud friends who look
to his advancement to the Presidency as pos
sible, Mr.. Chllds does not decline with the
coyness that is well understood between the
lines, as seeking the very office that is osten-
s,bly declined.
On the contrary, Mr. Childs declines be-
cause political conflicts are entirely out of
his line, aud his good sense teaches HIM that
the certainty of useful and benificent life
with peace and pleasure is vastly more to be
desired than the uncertainties of politics,
alike in elections and in realizing the dreams
of ambition when elected.
1t would, however, be none the less just
compliment to Philadelphia and to Mr.
Childs, for the Philadelphia delegates to cas-
their votes for him in the Chicago Conven
tion. 1t would not be the act of Mr. Childs
nor would it put him in the obviously dsa
greeable attitude of seeking either the caudi
dancy or the distinction of fgureng in the
Presidential ballot. 1t would be a publi
declaration of the type of man that would
make typical business President, and ii
would be the early teaching of the attribute
which must sooner or later command favo
with the sovereign power of the Republic. :

An Untruthful Correspondents.

An Cnfruthful Correspondent
An APPEAL subscriber has show
us a paper published at Great Falls
New Hampshire, in which appear
an article copied from the St Loui
GlobeDemocrat on the water use,
in Nevada for drinking purposes
There is no signature to the article
but judging from tie use of the
pronoun "our" in it, it must be 8
letter from a correspondent some
where in this State. We quote the
following:
"One great disadvantage that
Nevada has always labored under
Is the scarcity and poor quality oil
the water. Not one of our own
streams empties directly or Indirect
ly into any large body of water, but
all disappear, sink as itseemed, INTO
some small lake, or directly into
the ground. This makes the water
very brackish ana unpleasant, as in
the process of evaporation all the
saline and alkaline matter is lett
In the bed of the stream, and the
water thus becomes worse every
year.
Virginia City is better off ia re-
gard to water than any other place,
and thus far our largest town has
escaped, but il things 90 on as
they are at present, Nevada will be
avoided as a permanent place of
and will sink into a mere
camp. where no one will, stay long
er than necessary.
While in some respects the above
is true, it is IA gross ex-
OF small matter. 1t is
generally conceded that Virginia
City has the best water supply,
but we have never seen any com |
plant made in the local papers in |
any town in this State excepting
Reno and recently in CARSON as to
he quality of the water used for
thinking purposes. At times when
he rainfall is exceptionally small
here is a scarcity OF water, but it
las never resulted in doing any
harm. The poor quality of Reno's
water is not caused by any saline
" alkaline matter in 1t, but by the
Unlawful pollution of it by Califor-
Tia mil!men, and Carson's supply
now of purer quality than that
# many large cities, including, we
'enture to say, st. Louis. The AP-
EAL believes, however, that the
'eople of this State need not be de-
upon streams and rivers
Or their water supply, as there Is
o doubt that artesian wells can be
unk in almost any part of the
tate and large flows OF the purest
uality of water found. II
If this correspondent thinks that
Nevada will be avoided as a per-
lament place of residence, and will
INK into mere camp, where no
ne will stay longer than neces-
ary," it would be the most brilliant
lea that ever entered his head if u
e would pack up his traps and
nd place where he can get water 1
J suit his taste. Then there woulu
, less danger of sinking into a @
ere camp.
